Honestly, i have no qualms with the original steam curator. All he did was point out that SBI was involved in the game or not. People have the right to buy or not buy a product for whatever reason. The curator and its group would have remained obscure and practically irrelevant if one SBI employee didn't call for harassment against Kabrutus on twitter. All they had to do was to let people quietly not buy games they were not interested in but they called for mob justice on the curator. And i can't help giving the gamer side just a tiny drop of legitimacy this time because every article on the whole debacle forgets that this is what sparked the fire.

Every other comment i read from people who own the Ally is how clunky windows is for the form factor or how a windows update broke stuff. I mean sure, there's going to be a few people who will buy it but i don't see any windows handheld as a true competitor to the Deck, at least not before it gets a true handheld mode.

Dead in the water until it has an OS optimized for gaming handhelds.

Disagree. As a casual LTT watcher i had no idea who Emily was until they said her former name. I'm sure there are others like me who don't keep up with the latest happenings in every youtube channel. There's no offense in providing extra information for clarity.

Same execs who think it's such a waste not adding $15 outfit DLC to BG3

I don't recommend talking about SOs. Incels may (appear to) be misogynistic but in the end, they turned out that way because they are (or feel) completely unwanted, for whatever reason they come up with, valid or not. Talking about your girlfriend or wife to them will probably remind them what they are missing, make them more envious and aggravate them more, despite claiming to hate women.

I'm sure the engineers who made this know. And if they didn't, this is an article from 2018, they would have most certainly found out by now.

This definitely to be a US problem as anywhere i've been in Europe every city has reachable necessities within 15 minutes. I assume it's the same in Asia. I also don't understand why would anyone except automotive company CEOs be against having everything necessary in close reach.

Absolutely. But you can see it the other way, the "micro" now refers to what you are getting and *not *what you are paying.

Microtransactions are not acceptable in full retail single player games. I don't care if it's only cosmetics. If i pay 60 bucks for it, i better get the whole damn thing. Looking at you, Diablo 4.

Every time i search for something nowadays, the first results i get are always AI-generated articles that regurgitate other articles in the least useful and uninformative way as possible in an effort to show you ads. Robosites (a word i just came up with) and SEO have ruined Google.

prefer the taskbar at the bottom of the screen

This is 90% of the reason i haven't upgraded to 11 yet. I want my taskbar vertically on the left damnit!
